Shared moments that bring us together
Wake up, a quick coffee, and it’s off to find work. This is the day-to-day of Aurelio, who never takes no for an answer. He’s always fixing things with his carpentry skills and helping out his flatmates when they need a hand with something. The first image I had when I arrived the first day was the large coffee machine that he had installed and the long, brilliant ponytail that fell from his head.

Personal image and selection processes
In a job selection process, the image we present is an important consideration. Everyone projects a particular personal image and this image determines how others perceive us. In a work environment it’s essential to build a suitable image that incorporates our attitude, behaviour and dress, as well as speech that’s coherent and well-structured.
